At the Peter Pilotto __for Targe__t launch event in New York on Thursday,Diane Kruger wore a blouse and skirt from the collection (see it here), which hits Target stores and Net-A-Porter on February 9. Pilotto is known for bold prints, and the actress said she usually wears more muted looks. “I love it. I thought it is different for me,” Kruger told VF Daily.

Kruger and her partner Joshua Jacksonrecently filmed a video in which they took a trip in the desert, in Death Valley, CA, with only the water produced by their Mercedes B-Class F-Cell car to drink.

She’d already been driving the F-Cell car for a while. “About five years ago, Mercedes - I guess because I’m German - they called my manager, and they said, ‘We’re developing this car that is run off of hydrogen. Would Diane be interested to drive it in L.A.?’ So I’ve been driving it for the past two years. And it’s really a remarkable car, and, you know, us Germans, we’re very much into green, and new technologies,” she explained. “So, especially in L.A., where you have to drive everywhere, I was really interested to see how it would do. And it’s my favorite car in L.A.”

They were trying to come up with a way to demonstrate that what the F-Cell car produces really is water, and decided on the desert camping-hiking trip. “I don’t know if you’ve met Josh, my partner, who would do anything to go camping,” Kruger said, laughing. “We decided to just go out there and film. And that’s what we did.”

She says the car’s water was fine for drinking, but the trip in 120-degree heat had its ups and downs. “It was lots of fun during the day. The difficult thing is it’s freezing at night, so it’s really difficult to dress for everything,” Kruger said. “Putting up a tent, it’s just not my thing,” she added.
